Eroding the Susquehanna Basin

The Susquehanna drainage basin drains much of the northeastern United
States and incorporates several distinct geographic provinces including
the Appalachian Plateau, the Ridge and Valley, and the Piedmont. We
sampled fluvial sediment from small and large drainage basins to
determine the erosion rate of these provinces and the relationships
between slope, lithology and erosion rate.
